I exist

I exist in the DNA of my

children and in

the heart and lips

of my wife – the forest

where I trailed miles

and its beauty

of animals and trees

birch my favourite one.

I exist in the touch

of my hand on

the neck of my precious

cat JC and

the many pussycats

before her. I exist

in the minds

and hearts

of family & friends--

forever.
